The Complete Guide To Everything

As we conclude Halloween Month, we take a look at the original scary dude, Dracula. And even though you think doing research on Dracula would be fun and spooky, we learned the hard way that the original source material that introduces this guy who is undead, sucks blood and can turn into a bat and a wolf-thing, is actually kinda boring. Tom read Bram Stoker's original book and Tim watched the 1931 Bela Lugosi-starring movie (a totally fair division of work), so we have a lot to share. Hosted on Acast.

Halloween Month continues to bring thrills and chills, and this week we’re leaning heavily on the thrills part. Tim and Tom go to Six Flags: Great Adventure to experience the best of both at Fright Fest. Roller coasters, zombies, werewolves, haunted houses, chainsaws, it’s all here this week along with exclusive footage of Tom getting repeatedly scared in haunted houses.This week’s episode is sponsored by The Great Courses.

Halloween Month continues this week with a look at one of history's greatest monsters, Frankenstein. "But Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster," you say, trying to be clever. Well guess what, pal? We were talking about the doctor. You see, the doctor IS the monster because he created a monster. The monster he created? Frankenstein.Anyway, Tom read the classic book and Tim watched the classic movie, so this week we're comparing notes. Give it a listen... if you dare! Hosted on Acast.

Tipping. Gratuity. A means to show “gratitude” through the universal language of cold, hard cash. This week we’re talking all about tipping. How to do it. When to do it. Why to do it.
